Parallel,

Intersecting and
Perpendicular
Lines
PREPARED BY: SED SILVA

MATHEMATICS
This lesson deals with the different kinds of lines. When
you see things around you will see roads, houses, and
more. Those things around you composed of lines and
plane figures. It might be parallel lines, intersecting lines
and perpendicular lines. 
In this lesson you will learn to identify, describe, illustrate
and draw different kinds of lines which help you understand
the next lesson which is about different kinds of angles,
triangles and quadrilaterals.

PARALLEL, INTERSECTING AND


PERPENDICULAR LINES
LINES ADVENTURE IN THE CITY
Lines is a sweet little girl who loves to visit her
friends in their houses. One morning she decided to
visit her sick friend who is living in the city. She rides a
motorcycle to reach the city and she needs to walk to
reach the house of her friend. When she started to
walk and crossed the roads she saw lines that looks
like equal from each other and the distances are the
same.
She continued walking and passed another road
and it looks like lines that intersects and form a
right angle. Then, she crossed the road and
continue walking looking for an X sign on top of
the house. She saw a house beside the road
and it seemed like letter X on top of it! The
house was made of nipa hut and it is great!
Lines and her friend meet and hugged each
other.
Look at the lines
Can you see
intersections along  the
way?

Can you see straight


lines?

Can you see roads that


meet?
Roads can represent lines. There are
lines that do not meet or cross even if
both ends are extended. There are also
lines that meet at a common point. 
Look at the different lines again.
1. Parallel Lines
♦ Parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet.
♦ That is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at
any point are said to be parallel.
2. Intersecting Lines
♦ When two or more lines cross each other in a plane, they are
called intersecting lines. 
♦ They are lines that cross each other.
3. Perpendicular Lines
♦ The property of being perpendicular is the relationship between
two lines which meet at a right angle. 
♦ A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines
intersect at a right angle.
Let’s try
to
answer!
Remember!
♦ Parallel lines – have equal distance between them at any
given point. They are lines that do not meet at any point.
♦ Intersecting lines - they are lines that intersect or cross
each other.
♦ Perpendicular lines – they also intersect but at the same
time they form a right angle.
